Fall is my favorite season, so of course I’m super excited to bring fall to my nails! In the summer, I never wear glitter or metallics on my nails, but in the fall I like to add a bit of sparkle. I thought I’d share my recent nail designs in case you’re looking for fall mani inspo! I’ll keep this post updated too with more fall nails as I do them!
Marble Nails with Gold Foil
This was my nail design for my September wedding, and I’m so happy with how they turned out! I did gel over artificial nails, and painted the marble designs in layers to achieve this look. Tip for working with foil flakes – do two coats of topcoat to make sure the flakes are completely embedded and won’t lift.
Nail Colors: Meet Across gel in 13, 66, 06, and 01, with gold foil flakes.
Plaid Nails
When OPI gifted me their Fall 2021 Downtown LA collection, I knew I had to do plaid nails! I love these cozy, moody shades together, and the chocolate brown is the perfect base.
Nail Colors: OPI “Espresso Your Inner Self” (brown), “Metallic Composition” (rose shimmer), “Graffitii Sweetie” (lilac), Isn’t it Grand Avenue (navy), Art Wall in Suzi’s Shoes (red)
Black and Gold Nails
Black nails are always such a classic for fall and I love the chic and edgy look. There’s something so satisfying about a glossy black nail polish! I’ve also been loving the half painted negative space nail trend – it’s easy to do and has a big impact. Of course, I also added gold foil flakes because clearly I can’t get enough of them!
Nail Colors: Essie “Licorice”, “Samoan Sand” with one coat of “Bubble Bath” on top for the nude color.
Brown French Tip Nails
These nails remind me of coffee! I love the modern French tip trend, and brown nail polish is the perfect cozy shade for fall. I added the dots for a bit of a witchy vibe.
I’m absolutely obsessed with this nail polish for fall – it’s a gorgeous mocha color with a rose gold shimmer. I added some copper foil flakes as accent nails, and I love how they look like fall leaves.
Nail Colors: Essie “Light as Linen” with copper foil flakes.
Dark Green Nails
Sometimes I feel like keeping my nails simple but still on trend – enter this gorgeous dark green polish! I love it for fall, but it would also be so pretty for festive holiday nails!
Nail Color: OPI “My Studio’s on Spring”
Black Halloween Nails
My nails for Halloween this year! I wanted something witchy, so I went with this moon and star design in black and gold on stiletto nails.
Nail Colors: Black gel polish, Meet Across Gel in 05 (silver glitter)
Halloween Press On Nails
How cute are these press on nails!? Can’t get over the little black cats! I love the shape of these and they were super easy to apply!
Halloween Spider Web Nails
I did this spider web design on my Mom’s nails for Halloween, and I’m so happy with how they turned out! Spooky and a bit witchy but still neutral and classy. These are gel nail polish on artificial nails.
Nail Colors: Black gel polish, Meet Across Gel in 10 (nude) and 05 (silver glitter)
